Bluetooth as a trigger! Thanks for this…never thought of that as a trigger

[greggblankman]

In case you are not aware, home assistant has the ability to determine which Bluetooth devices an Android phone is connected to. You can use this information to trigger home automations. I use home assistant to trigger certain automations when my exercise headphones are connected to my phone.

Also, Bluetooth automations don't have to be limited to just a phone connection. If you use something like ESPresense you can detect if a Bluetooth device is turned on.

This is exactly what I was looking for and actually helped with the whole time automation that I've been scowering Reddit on all day. So win win. Would definitely love to see how some of the more complex automations are created -- like "if both wife and i are home then..." or "turn on bathroom LEDs but only in the middle of the night with motion" type stuff!! Love it keep it up!

so casually saying "all my shower automations" like it's such a normal thing 😂 I need to know more!!!

I have my shortcuts on my iOS adjust a trigger in Home Assistant and then have that run against the time if day. This is also useful for some use cases where my wife and I are using the same device.

My Home Assistant knows as soon as I’m home because I have a BLE beacon associated with my home zone. The moment my phone detects the beacon, it forces the companion app to check in with HA. This happens just before I pull into my driveway. I could make this happen sooner by putting the beacon outside of the house. I don’t have to touch my phone. And it even works if I’m on my motorcycle or not driving my Tesla.

Samsung modes and routines can do things like this really well, its very extensive.

I have a question how do I get my Samsung Frame TV to work with my Wyze cameras? Do I need a hub? Smart Things doesn’t see them. Do I need Home Assistant?

[brentkleinman]

You should make a channel "reedssmarthomefails" and post your attempted smart home automations that didn't turn out as expected.
